The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 789
Max's hand paused as he swiped the screen. He turned his head to look at the suspicious woman beside him and let out a light laugh. "Why wouldn't it be edible?"
"If you don't know how to cook, there is no need to force yourself," Felicia replied.
The smile on Max's lips deepened. "Don't worry, it will definitely be edible."
When the food was finally served on the table, it was a hearty spread.
"Daddy, it smells so good!" Anne exclaimed.
Max picked Anne up, settled her into her chair, and smiled. "Then you should try it quickly, Anne. Your mommy doubts if my cooking is edible."
"Okay." Anne picked up her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of potato, blowing on it carefully. Her little pouty face as she blew on her food was absolutely adorable. Once it was cool, she popped it into her mouth. As soon as she tasted it, her eyes lit up instantly. She turned to her mother excitedly. "Mommy, it's delicious! You have to try it."
Felicia sat beside her, while Max sat across from the mother and daughter.
After lunch, someone came up to clean the kitchen. Max grabbed Felicia's medication and handed it to her along with a glass of water. She took it and swallowed the pills. As the afternoon wore on, Max showed no intention of taking them back to the island manor, and Felicia didn't bother to ask. Throughout the afternoon, she heard Max take quite a few phone calls, all of which were related to work.
Back at the manor, the group waiting for Max to return had grim expressions. Darin advised them to wait a little longer, insisting that Max would eventually bring Felicia back.
Night fell, and the city lights flickered on. The birthday cake was lit. The main lights in the living room were turned off, leaving only the colorful glow of the city skyline pouring through the windows and the flickering candlelight illuminating the woman's delicate face. In the massive living room, there was no noisy birthday celebration, only a quiet, peaceful atmosphere.
"Mommy, make a wish quickly," Anne urged.
Felicia sliced a small piece for Anne, one for Max, and a tiny piece for herself. Anne ran over to sit on the sofa, happily eating her cake while swinging her little legs and watching cartoons. Felicia and Max walked over to join her.
Suddenly, Anne turned to her mother. "Mommy, do you know when Daddy's birthday is?"
Felicia froze for a moment, hesitating before asking if Anne knew.
"Of course I know! It is August twentieth," Anne said proudly. "Mommy, next time we should celebrate Daddy's birthday together too." She loved having only her mommy and daddy together for a birthday, just their family.
August twentieth. Felicia certainly remembered it. That year, she had been less than three months pregnant with Anne. Her morning sickness hadn't even passed yet, and she was exceptionally haggard. At that time, Max's disgust for her was at its peak, yet she still foolishly fantasized about being a good wife to him. She had overestimated her place and prepared a gift anyway, a diamond brooch and a lion charm she had crocheted herself, along with a special dinner. Of course, she knew even then that she was only deceiving herself. She didn't even know what she was hoping for or dreaming about.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
Is this coming to an end...
Oh nooo!! Don’t tell me Max will get washed ashore on a remote island then loses all his memory, then falls inlove with the local girl who saves him. Then when he meets Felicia again he won’t recognize her and breaks her heart again. Additional plot twist is that Felicia is pregnant with their 2nd child. Please pleaseee don’t give us this scenario.. LOL!!!...
If Max can be forgiven Darrin can be forgiven. And I do not like this marriage business but if it has to happen I hope after he gets stranded on some remote island alone while Felicia and his family fight over custody she wins and also gets half his estate. Then by time he comes back she's found having and remarried. Lol...
The writer is good. They're making me interested in Max. I won't say like yet....
It seems the only one who hasn't suffered is Max. Even his family fakes anger and disappointment all their own doing so they suffer a little. Everyone else has suffered. Luke and Jeremy unrequited. Felicia has suffered the most from family to unrequited to romance to long suffering Mother. Even baby Anne never had a mother til Felicia suffered then came back only to suffer some more. lol...
Oh no what did Colton do?... I have a bone to pick. When Olisha had to go the hospital why beg for Felicia? When she so loved Max? Seemed like she was in on the setup for Felicia to see a suicide for the 2nd time orchestrated by holden and his brother again. I might drop this series it's becoming endless with no real satisfaction for me. I don't need it to end because it's like a soap opera but if things don't end up making sense, tying up loose storylines it's gonna get old fast for me. Good luck author....
Anne, I think your baby brother is on the way. Thank goodness it doesn't say that Felicia is crying just like the last time but still, there's no willingness on her part. Max! You need to try harder. Make her fall in love with you again....
The writer did a big one with Jeremy's speech to Max. He said almost everything that needed to be said. I have wanted Felicia or someone who knows the past to just tell that whole stinking family what they did and how disgusting they are and what they're doing now how unfair it all is to Felicia. A pity it was only Max but he really needed to hear this (plus more)....
I love the chase of this novel, how you’ve build each of the characters. They almost seem like real. I feel like I know them irl. But however I would like to know what’s max’s pov and what’s going on in his head. I truly believe max’s just a grey character. And also please please please update more!!!...
I was really hoping that Max and Felicia would end up together, but why did Max do that to Felicia? 😭 Is that his way of making Felicia overcome the trauma Holden caused her? I don't think that's helping at all. I just hope Max's character has some redeeming qualities in the coming chapters....
